MOMENT

To go beyond global suffering, 
find death in blue glacier 
of frozen physicals. 
Greed of elements, and attached commentary 
on the burning, anonymously, 
when you were in dock. 

The unfolding of the negation starts 
softly down the blissful oblivion. 
False pretensions keep you alive amidst 
the crowd, the only art of rebellion 
in the depths of despair. 

The arguments were rising every morning, 
when all the doors were shut 
and sun was hiding behind the hills. 
A procession of self-styled prophets 
marched in the wrap of chosen blessed 
to find the antique 
non-movement of the moment!
